I like it ... but the name was Harold Hill.

That would require moving the roll for hit location before the roll to hit, possibly adding an unnecessary roll for each attack.

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
 

How about these three Perks together:

Extra Option: Bullet Proof Nudity

Armor Bikini (Prerequisite: Bullet Proof Nudity): Reroll the hit location any time a random hit-location roll results in a hit on an unarmored body part. You must accept the results of the second roll.

Skimpy Safety (Prerequisite: Armor Bikini): Hit Location penalties for unarmored locations on the body and limbs are at an additional -1.

[EDIT] After rereading the Bullet Proof Nudity rules, I think that they're way too powerful for a perk. They amount to Enhanced Defense with Pact (Where Skimpy Clothing), for around 30 points per level.

The super-martial artist in my Supers game had a karate dojo as a cover, and took his students as dependents. The big bad, of course, kidnapped them, and experimented with them, giving them mutant powers. I made a big random table for the powers, and one of the girls got Animal Function, and of course, looking at the martial artist character sheet, I saw that he had Leecherousness and quirk: is an obssesive manga fan, so I turned her into a catgirl who tried to be a superhero (and of course, sometimes even recieved the full +3 from bulletproof nudity!)

I think you're misunderstanding the point of Extra Option. The idea is that it's a way for the GM to allow an optional rule in the game without making the assumption that everyone is using it. So it's only available if the GM is already okay with the optional rule.

So if Extra Option (Bulletproof Nudity) is allowed in a game, then Bulletproof Nudity exists in the game world, and anyone who takes the perk can make use of it. This means that pretty much anyone planning on going shirtless is going to take the perk.

So it's just a way to tap into an existing law of the universe, not a super power in and of itself. Comparing it with Enhanced Defense is like comparing sunglasses with the shade of a mountain -- both shield your eyes from the sun, but one is personal equipment while the other is a feature of the landscape that anyone can stand under.

Oops, you're right. I couldn't remember when I posted it, so I just guessed.

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
 

BTW, the actual power the Harold Hill has is Affliction (This Perk, Reduced Will, and Compulsive Singing)

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
 

I feel like this one should be a technique of the respective skill. (Did I already say this? Long thread.)

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
 

Fair enough. Even so, I think that I'd reverse the prerequiste tree from my previous post, so that Bullet Proof Nudity was the last quirk gained.
